A profound meditation on the nature of human relationships, with the aim of saving us from misunderstanding, argument and unhappiness. The author presents the idea that the relationship between man and woman was once understood, but its nature was never openly discussed. As a result, this knowledge has been lost, leading to relational strife and pain. Halliday sets out to re-examine for us the original significance of that once-silent understanding in order to help heal our current confusion and suffering. His starting point is that every human being is polarised, possessing both male and female elements in varying degrees. He discusses the nature of the dynamic relation between male and female energies and gives a clear view of the value of the historical separation of the sexes into male and female and how the tension between these energies creates further developmental possibilities. The qualities of the whole human being are discussed and the ultimate significance and equal validity of these qualities is emphasised. This Tacit Conspiracy, therefore, helps us to understand the male-female play of energy inside each of us and leads us towards a greater understanding of ourselves and of our relationships. Written in the 1950s, this short book is as relevant now as it was then, if not even more so.
